Synapse eNews is published by NBTS for all members of the brain tumor community. It includes updates on our research, public policy and advocacy programs, as well as research and community news, and our regional events.

To honor the dedication of our volunteer advocates, we will select an advocate of the month and showcase their dedication to fighting brain tumors and to this community. This month, we honor BethAnn Telford, survivor, advocate and Race for Hope Team BT team captain. BethAnn takes her leadership further by advocating for and spreading the word about policy issues that are critical to the brain tumor community. Hear from BethAnn as she shares her experiences as an advocate in this video.

What is BethAnn tackling next? This year she hopes to win a spot in the Kona Ironman Triathlon. To win, BethAnn needs you to vote for her video! To vote visit Konainspired.com July 4-18, or click here to receive an alert from us when it's time to vote.

We would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all of the participants and supporters of our spring Walks, Rides and Races. Funds raised through our events help drive strategic research to find a cure for brain tumors, and ensure the critical needs of the brain tumor community are met through public policy and patient information.

We would like to express a special thank you to our event title sponsors:
